Got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you
Got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you
I wanna love you so bad but I don't know what to do

I'm goin' down to Lou'sianna to get me a mojo hand
I'm goin' down to Lou'sianna to get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women right here under my command

Got my mojo workin'
Got my mojo workin'
Got my mojo workin'
Got my mojo workin'
Got my mojo workin' but it just don't work on you

Do you have any other tab, this doesn't quite seem right to me.

Thanks,

the problem with tabs, especially with songs like Mojo, is that they never catch the essence of the song. And beware that Mojo knows many versions, where each artists has his/her own specific and personal signatures on the essence of the song. They will not all be tabbed.

So the essence of the song is not the melody (as you might catch in this crazy thing called tabs) but rather the rhythm. If you try to tab that, you will only get a large number of (123) (123)+ (12) with the occasional bends on 2, 3 and 4. That will not make any sense at all, and will not help you find your Mojo.

Just start to fool around with basic chord rhythms on (123) en (123)+, put down some accents on the (2, 2", 3, 3', 3", 4', 4) and try to catch the feel of Mojo by its rhythm. Listen to the accents and the personal statements the player on your CD is making. Steal from them, and develop your own Mojo.

Can't help you in any other way....! Have fun,

That's the best advice I've had in a long time, Thanks! I'm guilty as charged - I'm a recovering "tab junkie" - better off to find the groove and let the notes come to me.

On the way to finding my Mojo,

Alan
